6. Maintenance and Care

Proper care will extend the life and beauty of your vidaXL Patio Folding Chairs.

  • Cleaning: The oil-finished surface is easy to clean. Wipe regularly with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a mild soap solution and rinse thoroughly with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals.
  • Wood Care: Acacia wood is durable, but periodic re-oiling (e.g., once a year or as needed) with a suitable wood oil for outdoor furniture can help maintain its appearance and weather resistance. Follow the instructions on the wood oil product.
  • Storage: When not in use for extended periods, especially during winter or heavy rain, store the chairs in a dry, covered area to protect them from the elements. The folding feature makes this convenient.
  • Inspection: Periodically check all screws and bolts to ensure they are tight. Tighten if necessary.
